Autumn photography series

In 2005, I went to Baihaba, the first village in northwest China, to collect photos. Baihaba village, located in the north-northwest of the motherland, is really like a paradise in oil painting.

Every morning, as the first ray of sunshine sweeps across the mountains, the busy day of Tuwa people begins. The distant mountains are foggy, the autumn leaves are golden, and the smoke from the kitchen rises in the wooden houses in the village, like a fairy tale falling into the world.

As the sun sets, the mountains are splashed with gold, the warm sunshine penetrates the poplar leaves, and the white yurts are vividly set off by golden patches. God left the most beautiful pictures for autumn in northern Xinjiang.

At dusk, the silhouette of the first whistle in the northwest will always be on our film and in our hearts. As far as I can see, the herdsmen in the village of Baihaba in Kazakhstan have also become soldiers guarding the border and soil.

Now that I think about it, Baihaba, the first village in the northwest, is naturally beautiful and vivid, really like an oil painting!

More than ten years have passed, and the memory is still fresh. If it is in front of you, how about Baihaba?

Baihaba Village is located in Habahe County, Xinjiang. This quiet and beautiful village has not been disturbed and noisy by the outside world for hundreds of years, and still maintains a simple and mellow folk customs. The four seasons in the village are very different and the natural landscape is rich. Once you walk into this village, it's like seeing the strange rural scenery in the movie The Lord of the Rings with your own eyes. Baihaba Village (Baihaba Scenic Area), known as the first village in the northwest and the first whistle in the northwest, is located in Tiereketi Township, Habahe County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the border between China and Kazakhstan, only 1.5 km away from East Silek, Kazakhstan, and connected by national defense highway.

Baihaba, known as one of the eight most beautiful ancient towns in China, is a village where the original ecology and ancient traditional culture blend. Everything still retains its original features for hundreds of years. Mainly Tuwa people, they are located in the valley flat of Altai Mountains, facing the mountains of Kazakhstan. The dense pine forest on Altai Mountain extends to Baihaba Village. The wooden houses where villagers live and the fences of captive animals are scattered randomly in pine forests and birch forests, which are quiet and peaceful. The simple and kind Tuwa people still retain their simple primitive tribal culture and lifestyle. They wear beautiful traditional clothes, can sing and dance, and are hospitable. In their home, you can enjoy delicious barbecue, homemade milk wine and listen to an original folk song. Behind the village is a snowy mountain, with dense jungle on the mountainside and green grass at the foot of the mountain. Snow mountains, glaciers, forests and grasslands, where you can enjoy the scenery all year round at the same time.

In the early morning, the wisps of morning light seemed to wrap a thin scarf around the sleeping village. In the misty orange morning light, flocks of cattle and sheep slowly walked out of the village. The smoke from the kitchen above the wooden house seems to be yawning lazily.

At noon, the fields are golden everywhere, thousands of golden mottled spots are reflected on the ground, wild flowers are in full bloom, cattle and sheep are leisurely eating tender grass, and birds are flying in the forest. A breeze blew across my face, bringing a fresh and pleasant feeling.

At dusk, the figure of cattle and sheep is dragged by the sunset, and the sunset glow is covered with gold and dark green. The rustling of leaves in the wind makes the village look extraordinarily quiet after a busy day. At night, the air is mixed with the unique aroma of pine burning. Looking up at the starry sky, you can clearly see the twinkling stars, as if you can reach out and touch the night sky, and take off a few stars, which seems to be integrated with the starry sky.

Baihaba is located in Kanas Scenic Area, where the only Tuwa people in China live, and still retains the habit of hunting. No matter the four seasons, it is beautiful here, especially when the fog has not dispersed in the morning and the smoke is curling up in the evening. Autumn leaves are red, which is the best time to take pictures.
